APPEARANCE
Amber.

BODY
Medium-bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

NOSE
A relatively closed nose. Planed wood, light toffee, boat varnish. Linseed oil behind, even putty, and later a lychee-like acidity. With water, the acidity comes up (acid drops), and the nose sweetens. Still a pleasant fresh woodiness or leatheriness, the varnish now supported by artists turpentine. Warm sand. After a while, coffee dregs with brown sugar. Not an obvious nose, however.

PALATE
This delicate malt offers fruits, planed wood, and light toffee. The palate is sweet before gaining in acidity.

FINISH
Dry; medium-length, with an attractive lingering sandalwood aftertaste. Sharp and well-balanced.
